The European Parliament has just, by a fairly wide majority, adopted the Lambert Report, which endorses and extends the Commission’s extremely poor proposal on refugees. We opposed this, as did most of the right.
This vote, which is fortunately for consultation purposes only under current rules, could nevertheless politically weaken the position of the Council, which has for some time been trying to stem the tide of overliberal Commission proposals.
Following yesterday’s debate, Commissioner Vitorino, without contesting all my arguments on this subject, confined himself to claiming that the Commission was not proposing to establish all the elements of the subsidiary protection system. There is indeed already supplementary protection, in addition to the Geneva Convention, in some countries, for example territorial asylum in France. The scope of these extensions, however, is small. What I would reproach the Commission for is introducing this system at Community level and, what is more, establishing all the necessary conditions for it to be extended.
Once again, the Commission is playing a destructive role, which should lead us to consider the relationship between the European institutions in general."@en1
